A 6-year-old boy was caught in the crossfire and killed as deputies fired on a wanted felon outside San Antonio on Thursday.

The woman authorities were after also died.

Police in Schertz, about 15 miles northeast of San Antonio, were called just before 11 a.m. after a man reported his car had been stolen.

When they arrived at the home where the man said the thief would be, they found the woman hiding in a closet. She pointed a gun at them, said she would shoot and then ran into a wooded area, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said.

On Friday, relatives told the San Antonio Express-News that the woman was 30-year-old Amanda Lenee Jones, who had a long criminal history. Authorities have yet to confirm her identity.

Schertz police, Bexar County deputies and officers from several other jurisdictions pursued Jones for about an hour and a half. Deputies eventually found her trying to break into a mobile home in the 100 block of Peach Lane.

Four deputies opened fire on the woman, killing her. It was unclear whether she had fired at them, Salazar said, but the deputies believed she had.

Authorities did not find a weapon on Jones afterward. She was holding an 8-inch-long metal tube that resembled a gun, police said Friday.

At least one of the bullets went through the wall of the home and struck Kameron Prescott in the stomach. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. Authorities originally said the boy was 7, but the Bexar County medical examiner said Friday he was 6.

None of the deputies was injured, and neither were two other people in the mobile home.

The deputies have been placed on five days of routine administrative leave.

Salazar said it wasn't clear who fired the shot that killed the child.

"It's a tragedy, obviously," he said, adding that authorities continued to investigate. "We don't want to leave any stone unturned. We want everybody to have answers here. Right now, it's just too soon to tell."

Court records show that Jones had been arrested more than a dozen times in Bexar, Comal and Guadalupe counties since 2009, mostly on drug-possession charges.

"Kameron was a ball of energy, happy, smart and could strike up a conversation with anyone," school counselor Maria Morales said. "He also had a great sense of humor and caring heart. He'll be truly missed by his classmates, teachers and the Wiederstein staff."

A GoFundMe account set up to help Kameron's family with funeral arrangements has raised more than $4,000.
